Re: Tim Thomas

He said he's going to focus on the three F's: Family, Friends, and Faith. And if you remember, he declined to meet Obama at the White House when the Bruins won the cup...

Tim Thomas is a teabagger!

And we're supposed to hate him because of this? Y'know, the Tea Party is about saving this nation from explosive and toxic debt created by two Democrat Presidents, Bush and Obama. Yes, he was a Dem. And so what if he didn't visit the White House? As Anti-Flag said, "Raise the flag and cowardly salute. Whoa. Whoa."

I think the negative reaction Thomas got with regards to his white house stunt was more a reaction against his attitude than his conservative politics.

He took what was supposed to be a non-partisan celebration of his team's success, and turned it into some asinine political grand standing protest. He came across as selfish. Great goalie, but the dude is a bit of a dick (his decision to "take a year off" instead of just retiring is another example of this: it was absolutely hilarious how he manged to name drop bunch of sponsership plugs in his public statement).

Congrats to the Kings: they absolutely dominated these playoffs.

Let all be forgiven.

The 5 minute major is ridiculous and ruined the game last night. I don't know why they have it. I'm going to guess teams average just under two goals per 5 minute major. One penalty = an extremely high chance at 2+ goals? I just don't like that. Maybe something as simple as making it 4 minutes instead of 5 would make it more reasonable.

Am I the only one appalled by Tim Thomas deciding to leave the NHL for a year?
After all that success, all it takes is one failure before he begins to mope and quit. Horrible.

He's the NHL equivalent of Brett Favre, honestly.

That is pretty dumb, honestly. Again with the NFL equivalent, it reminds me of when Obama decided not to go to the super bowl because the Bears weren't playing, and Charles Woodson of the Packers took offense and decided not to go to the White House after the SB to celebrate. These are supposed to be grown men... why do they act like whiny children?

Whoa, Minnesota went berserk with throwing 100 million contracts to top two FA's. Seriously whoa, the only other team that has two 100 million contracts is Pens I guess but comparing Crosby and Malkin to Parise and Suter I still don't see Minnesota as a contender. They probably even won't manage to pass Vancouver in Northwest next year.
